I have to try ways and means to get Renee to eat well, she is so picky with food. I made this soup for her and luckily she likes it. It is not difficult to make and it did not take a long time to cook - the pressure cooker is the way to go

Pound chicken breast with a mallet - use cling wrap on the bottom and top of chicken breast and sprinkle with a little water before pounding

Overturn a small bowl onto to a larger bowl which will fit into the pressure cooker

Place the pounded chicken breast onto the small bowl and cover the larger bowl with aluminium foil. Put the steamer rack and 1 inch of water in the pressure cooker. Put the bowl onto the steamer rack and cover the lid of pressure cooker.

Turn on the heat to high and when the pressure is high enough, the hissing will be loud, turn heat down and cook for 1/2 hour

Remove lid of pressure cooker only when all the pressure has been released. Take away the aluminium foil and remove the small bowl. The cooked chicken will be stuck to it.

The chicken essence will be at the bottom of larger bowl and is ready. Add a tiny pinch of salt to taste.
